Speaker 1: super fans. It feels like a sports team is saying

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: at the hotel. There are people literally standing outside of

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the elevators waiting to grab Fox News talent. They're doing

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: all the shows basically down here in South Florida as

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: soon as they come off the elevators. I've never seen

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: you might ask, Oh, yeah, that's right. I'm gonna be

00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: at mar Lago on Friday for the America First Policy

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,199
Speaker 1: Institute gala. See a bunch of my friends up there,

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: including the big guy. We're gonna have a talk. We're

00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna see how he's doing. Check in, give him a

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: high five. Nice to see you, mister President. So we

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: got a lot of things happening down here in Florida

29
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: right now, as you know, a lot of things happening

30
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: across the nation, including the GOP. Officially we've been saying

31
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: any moment now, officially the GOP has taken the House.

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Now for everybody, I just just take a moment. We're

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: all gonna have a little exhalation together, because this takes

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: this midterm election out of the disaster category. It's firmly

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: out of the disaster category. And you can argue gentleman's

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: be minus maybe you know, I don't know, it's it's

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: gentleman's be minus for an election maybe c plus if

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: you're a little bit of a harder greater. That's that's

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: where we are on this. I just want to break

40
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: oh and some other things we'll talk about today because

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: I like to give you a quick overview here we have.

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: We're going to dive into what the House is likely

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: to do and what this means here in just a moment,

44
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: some more on how we got here with the votes,

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: the voting situation. FTX crypto, the second biggest started the

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Democrats in this last cycle. This guy Sam Bankman freed,

47
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: there's just more and more stuff coming out. This is

48
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: like a vortex of mismanagement, virtue signaling financial destruction. N

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: Clay they had meetings with this guy. The SEC chairman

50
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: met with this guy to talk about how the SEC

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: should regulate crypto. This is like the head of the

52
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: SEC meeting with made Off to talk about Ponzi schemes.

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: I can't read enough about this stuff, and I don't

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: know what eventually the full story is going to be.

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: But the Wall Street Journal had a piece this morning,

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: BOT that you and I were airing before the show,

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: where the guy who has now taken over in the

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: midst of the you know, the bankruptcy, said he's never

59
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: seen a company this baddest shape in forty years of

60
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: doing this. John Jay Ray, the guy who has overseen

61
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: some of the biggest bankruptcies ever. People usually think of

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Enron as among the biggest fraud bankruptcies. I think the

63
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: biggest bankruptcy technically was Lehman Brothers, which obviously went Boston

64
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: had a massive balance sheet. But John Jay Ray said, Clay,

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: to your point here about FTX, this guy's been doing

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: this for forty years. Quote. Never in my career have

67
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information has occurred

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: here from compromise systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad,

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: which means here in the US, to the concentrate of

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: control in the hands of a very small group of inexperience, unsophisticated,

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: and potentially compromised individuals. This situation is unprecedented. End. Quote, Clay,

73
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: the guy you bring in for the most catastrophic bankruptcies

74
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: for the last forty years is saying, this is the

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: most messed up thing I've ever seen. I don't see

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: what it made off get one hundred and fifty years

77
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: in prison something like that. I don't see unless these

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: guys make a run for it, I don't see how

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: they aren't going to go away for the rest of

80
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: their lives over these frauds and shenanigans. And we were

81
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: talking about Thereinos. The story about the fake you know,

82
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: basically machine that could analyze your blood for illness for

83
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: people out there. Bad Blood was the book, which was incredible.

84
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: I know they've made a couple of mini series and

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: everything else about it. This actually looks like it's going

86
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: to be even crazier than that. It's it's just on

87
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: such a bigger, such a scale. Yes, the thing about

88
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: Tharronos was that they were running blood machine testing technology

89
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: and didn't actually have any technology, and it didn't work,

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: and they at one point we're considering, I remember from

91
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: the book, sending people fake results on you know, things

92
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: like an HIV test. I mean, think about the mentality there, right,

93
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: or I should say faulty results for things like that.

94
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: They ended up I think holding back on some of that,

95
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: but that there was a conversation at Tharnos about that

96
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Holmes was the woman, right, wasn't that Elizabeth Holmes? Elizabeth

97
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: Holmes who would give these interviews where she would. She

98
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: wore a Steve's job turtleneck and did this weird, fake

99
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: deep voice. But because she had big bug eyes and

100
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: had blonde hair all these it was Clay. It was

101
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: crazy the people she swindled into this, and the way

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: this this guy yesterday. I mean, you know, Clay, we

103
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: actually have some audio. I don't think I think I

104
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: played it on the post show pod. We need to

105
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: play it on this show where he's like, Yeah, we're

106
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: just gonna like stap like Clavid change and we're gonna

107
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: save the whole world from all the bad things. Oh,

108
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: his voice is unbelievable. I heard that because I was

109
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: on the way to the airport yesterday when you were

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: closing out. Yeah, and you did play the audio and

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. Yea. By the way, if you wonder how

112
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: fraud like this can happen, do you know that SBF

113
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: Sam Bankman free, this guy who evidently perpetrated this massive

114
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: crypto fraud. He's scheduled to be speaking at the New

115
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: York Times Deal Book Summit next week, So if you're

116
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: curious how a fraud like this could happen, it's so incestuous,

117
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, the New York Times is not looking into

118
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: any of the details here. They're literally bringing this guy

119
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: to speak at a New York Times event. I think

120
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: it's still scheduled on November thirtieth, which is crazy to

121
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: think about all these quote unquote illuminating and in super

122
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: success truth to power. Yes, unless he's gonna write big

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: checks for us and come to our conferences, then it's

124
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: a different a different kid, That's what I'm say. Like,

125
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy that he's gonna speak he was

126
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: supposed to. Like when you look at this speaker list,

127
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Eric Adams is the first speakers, the Mayor of New

128
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: York City obviously, next speaker Sam Bateman freed, and then

129
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: they got like the CEO of TikTok, chairman and CEO

130
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: of Black Rock, Amazon CEO CEO, and Netflix like these are.

131
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really kind of wild to think about

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: how incestuous this is. If you wonder how does a

133
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: fraud get this big, it's because even the elite journalists

134
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: out there are helping to carry the water of how

135
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: brilliant this guy is. I mean, this thirty year old

136
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: is described as a vegan, polyamorous tech bro. Now, I

137
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: just if you give your life savings to a thirty

138
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: year old vegan, polyamorous tech bro who is of course

139
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: getting meetings with Joe Biden and the head of the SEC.

140
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: The whole apparatus. This kid, who kind of looks like

141
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like if Frodo Baggins didn't get

142
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: much light and never worked out like this guy was

143
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: able to completely turn the apparatus to his will. I

144
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: mean he managed to just pull the wool over their eyes. Obviously,

145
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: with billions of dollars of other people's money to throw around,

146
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: it makes it a whole lot easier. But Clay, when

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: you see the people who are on scene, we're talking

148
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: about this, I was gonna talk about that. We'll come

149
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: back and talk about the House and what all that

150
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: means in a second. Here the House of Representatives, that's

151
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: obviously very important. But Clay, you see the celebrities and

152
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: this is like the fire Festival of crypto brodom, right,

153
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a fraud of a scale that

154
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: is gonna have. Look, we're down in Florida right now.

155
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: A lot of crypto stuff is going on, has been

156
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: going on, particularly in Miami, where you and I currently are.

157
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: And when you see I'm trying to hear this. I

158
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 1: was looking for the celebrity list. There's already a class

159
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: action lawsuits for eleven billion dollars. Who are the people

160
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: that were pushing this crypto? Tom Brady, Gazelle, Bunchin, Shaquille O'Neil,

161
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Larry David all named in the lawsuit that

162
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: has been filed in the state of Florida. News Slash everybody.

163
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: He does have an amazing jump shot. I do not

164
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: think you should take financial advice from Steph Curry, Jasell

165
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: Bunching is like physical perfection. I do not think you

166
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: should take crypto and investing advice from Giselle. We need

167
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: to pull the Larry David commercial because he was in

168
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl commercial which costs you know, ftx, like

169
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: seven million dollars or whatever the heck. It was the

170
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: last Super Bowl, and the entire premise of Larry David's

171
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: commercial is that he doesn't buy into the idea of crypto.

172
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: But it's like, you know, all the great historical conventions, like, oh,

173
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: you're telling me the wheel is going to be a

174
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: big difference maker. I just don't see it. We need

175
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: to grab that video that commercial. But Buck, all these

176
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: guys are gonna get massively sued. To your point, they

177
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. Their advisors were just like, hey,

178
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: you should pitch crypto like it's pepsi or like it's

179
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, like the Windy's, you know, like which is

180
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: typical they kind of advertisements these guys do. They had

181
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: no idea. What about Matt Damon. All these guys are

182
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: tons of and just just so everyone's clear, you know,

183
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: you have fuck Elizabeth Warren, who's holish. Oh, we're gonna

184
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna hold the banks accountable and the rich and

185
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: the fat cats. We're gonna just squeeze those fat cats

186
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: until they're skinny. You know, Elizabeth Warren does all this

187
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: stuff about, you know, holding power and finance accountable. Clay

188
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: people were investing billions of dollars into this, into something

189
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: where securities, which are an investment with the you know

190
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: that the sec is supposed to regulate you're investing in

191
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: if it's a publicly traded company. It is a company,

192
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: it has a balance sheet, it has earnings and losses,

193
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: and you know there's something A crypto is a bunch

194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: of numbers on the screen you have the chance of

195
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: literally losing one hundred percent of everything you invest. And

196
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: there's no underlying assets, there's no factory to sell off,

197
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: there's nothing. Yeah, and basically there was no regulation. I

198
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: guarantee you Elizabeth Warren in six months. And it's just

199
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: the Republicans plotting here. And what we need to continue

200
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: to bring home for everybody out there is this dude

201
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: was the second biggest donor to Democrats, almost forty million dollars.

202
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: And in that audio you played Buck he was talking

203
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: about giving them hundreds of millions of dollars in the

204
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: years ahead, five hundred million next year, and they said

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: he was going to be the world's the world's first trillionaire.

206
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I mean, And the whole thing

207
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: was affronts it. Just the other thing too. You know

208
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: all the people that you know, You see these people

209
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, then you know they're really rich

210
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: or they're really famous, and they must be so smart.

211
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: A lot of really rich famous people are dumb as

212
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: can be super narcissistic and make all kinds of horrific errors.

213
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: They just got really lucky ones, or they were just

214
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: bored and really lucky. I mean the case of models

215
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: and athletes. You know, there's there's no doubt about it.

216
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: And I think it goes to there's a lot of

217
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: fraud at the inception right when you go look at

218
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: this entire Sam Bankman freed ridiculousness. I Firefest is I

219
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,599
Speaker 1: think a good analogy. I think certainly Bernie Madoff is

220
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: a good analogy. It's kind of a mixture of both

221
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: of those. They wanted it to be true. And I

222
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: wonder how much of this crypto universe in general is

223
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: totally built in a house of cards. And my big

224
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: concern here is at some point are we going to

225
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: see almost two thousand and eight style buck Some of

226
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: these crypto exchanges have gotten so big that their failure

227
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: transfers over into the large, larger economic or now now

228
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: you start saying people might be wondering, well, you know

229
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: I don't own crypto. Okay, well do you have a

230
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: pension plan? Do you have a four oh one K?

231
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: A lot of people had money with the crypto that

232
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: had no idea they were doing it. There's contagion. Is

233
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: contagion for what happens here, and especially if people think

234
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: they can get outside returns and everyone's getting in and

235
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: there's pressure on these money managers to hit their numbers,

236
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: and things can get things get very ugly fast. But

237
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: it's really, it really does all come down to clay.

238
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: If it sounds too good to be true, it is

239
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: once again the most the most simple truths are the

240
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: ones that people forget in these kinds of situations, and

241
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: people people pay the price. The video, the videos. He

242
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: has little videos on TikTok with Tom Brady. Also, it's

243
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady was hanging out with the guy's a

244
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: little weirdo. I mean, you look at this guy. He's

245
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: living with ten other thirty year olds all in the

246
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: same apartment in the Bahamas, and they're apparently just like

247
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: playing dungeons and dragons and doing other stuff I can't

248
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: describe on the radio. And they're giving them billions of dollars.

249
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this guy was getting sit downs

250
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: with Biden, I know, I mean, well of that that

251
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: used to mean something until Biden started interviewing people who

252
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: became women three weeks ago. Um, let's let's buy the way. Also,

253
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: as we go to break here buck, we may be

254
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: able to announce Nancy Pelosi's official departure from the political scene,

255
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: because do your point on a gentleman's be minus or

256
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: see or however you want to assess the overall mid terms.

257
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't think you can be underrated. We may well

258
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: have finally retired Nancy Pelosi, so we're going to get

259
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: an update on that. She's speaking on the House floor

260
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: as we are moving throughout the course of the program today.

261
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, Claire's kids are absolutely loving the Tuttle Twins

262
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: books so much that I'm going to get one for

263
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: my nephew because I know he's gonna love it. And

264
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: they're not just books. They're opening up interesting discussions about

265
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: things that really matter for kids' futures as well as

266
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: for our country. Some teachers and some books in school

267
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: focus on activism instead of education. These books counteract that

268
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: they protect kids from misguided ideas, helping kids understand the

269
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: logic the beauty of personal liberty can be hard. These

270
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: simple books with pictures and thought provoking stories make it

271
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: easy for kids to understand there's a battle for our

272
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: kids minds. You on the one side, versus the media, Hollywood,

273
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: activist teachers crt all of that. On the other, you

274
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: can have a powerful artillery round for the mind. If

275
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: you will, you can get the arsenal of truth on

276

Speaker 1: a happy warrior. Positive. The future is ours vibe here

284
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: and even after we have a little bit of a

285
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: disappointing midterm, we got some good things today. The House

286
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: is officially one hundred percent in Republican hands, and let's

287
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: let's do a moment, a quick moment here to thank

288
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: New York floor California for beating the odds in those

289
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: states and some tough congressional fights going red without that,

290
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: and also our friend Lauren Boeberg for example out in Colorado.

291
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Without some of these close races, Clay, we wouldn't have

292
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: taken the House. I mean it actually if we didn't know.

293
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: And we're going to get into some of these numbers

294
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: in a second. But the big news that just broke

295
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: as we were in commercial break is well, we can

296
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: hear it from her. Here's Nancy Pelosi talking about her

297
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: future or not so future, aspirations of what she's going

298
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: to do in Congress. Play it, my friends. No matter

299
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: what title you all my colleagues have bestowed upon me, Speaker, leader, whip,

300
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: there is no greater official honor for me than to

301
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: stand on this floor and to speak for the people

302
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: of San Francisco. This I will continue to do as

303
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: a member of the House, speaking for the people of

304
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: San Francisco, serving the great state of California, and defending

305
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: our constitution, and with great confidence in our caucus. I

306
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress.

307
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi no longer even going to try to be

308
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: in Democrat congressional leadership. You know you sometimes you gotta

309
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: just save her the small victories. Clay. We retired her

310
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: effectively as a leader. Now she may hang on. There's

311
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: talk that she wants her daughter to take over that

312
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: district potentially in San Francisco. Will see exactly how that goes.

313
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: But again, I understand people wanted the red wave. You

314
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: and I did. We wanted the red tsunami. We got

315
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: some data for you on the House. But I do

316
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: think you have to say, Okay, the biggest part of

317
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: this mid term was to ensure that Joe Biden could

318
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: do no more harm, and we have now done that

319
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: by taking the House. Now, still a lot of work

320
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: left to do in twenty twenty four. As we said, basically,

321
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election has already started. I mean

322
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: Trump's already announced. You saw where it's already been announced

323
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: that Joe Manchin has a Republican challenger in West Virginia.

324
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're not stepping off the treadmill at all.

325
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: This race is going to be continuing. Next big shoe

326
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: to drop, I would say, is Joe Biden officially announcing

327
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: his decision, which one I would expect we'd get some

328
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: time after the first of the year. You know, if

329
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: he's going to be running, which you and I both

330
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: think he is, it's ready. It's go time for twenty

331
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: twenty four. And I gotta say there is now you

332
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: mean on the congressional side, Yes, yes, because I saw

333
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: this piece in the American Spectator by Scott McKay, and

334
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: I think he makes some really really critical points. I

335
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: pulled from some of this. This guy does a politics

336
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: newsletter I believe called hay Ride. I'm not familiar with

337
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: his work from before. I do know the American Spectator obviously,

338
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 1: and Scott has this piece. It isn't time to care

339
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: who the twenty twenty four nominee is. Until Republicans learn

340
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: how to beat Democrats at their own game, it won't matter. Now,

341
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: there are a few very important insights Clay that I

342
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: think this guy Scott McKay points out here or pulls

343
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: out for all of us. First one is this, I

344
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: want to start with this. He writes, well, the public

345
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: did its job with zero effort on the part of

346
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: the GOP. Voters went from minus seven million to plus

347
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: five million on the Republican side in two years. Let's

348
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: just pause there for a second. He's pointing out, my friends,

349
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: because a lot of people saying, well, we thought there

350
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: was going to be a red wave. There was a

351
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: red wave, it just splashed in the wrong states. It

352
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: wasn't distributed in the way that would be needed to

353
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: get the victories that we needed. A twelve million vote

354
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: swing in two years. Okay, the numbers are in just

355
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: think about that, a twelve million vote swing. Five million

356
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: plus Republicans voted over Democrats this time around. So what

357
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: he says here is that the red wave happened. It

358
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: ran up against sea walls all across the country. That's

359
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: really important. And then he gets into the basics here,

360
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: Clay is, how did and I'm gonna paraphrase erics. I

361
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: want to read too much from the Skuy's piece American Spectator.

362
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: It's a great piece. How is it that someone like

363
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: carry Lake loses to Katie Hobbs? How does that happen? Well,

364
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: Because while we're sitting here saying carry Lake so compelling,

365
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: so you know, Fiery has a vision, would do a

366
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: good job. Katie Hobbs, and we mean literally during that

367
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: month leading up the election, she was overseeing the election

368
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: and in the election and making sure ballots, ballots out, out, ballots,

369
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: ballots counted, counted, running the machinery of the election to

370
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: her favor. While we're sitting around saying she won't debate,

371
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: she won't debate carry Lake. She didn't have to debate

372
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: carry Lake. And she knew that. Now I'll get into

373
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: there's another critical point of your Clay. It just real quick, everybody,

374
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: One thing that comes through in this piece, it's not

375
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: it was rigged or it was stolen in this or

376
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: any election. It can be both. And if you don't

377
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: address the way that it's rigged, it doesn't even it

378
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: doesn't even matter because you're never gonna get to whether

379
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: it was stolen. Yeah, and buck the way to bring

380
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: this home. I think for a lot of people out

381
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: there listening, and I've been reading about these numbers as well.

382
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: First of all, a twelve million swing is crazy, right,

383
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: So you went from, according to the tally, seven million

384
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: more votes for Joe Biden in twenty twenty to five

385
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: million more votes for Republicans in twenty twenty two. If

386
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: you had told anyone that, like, if you've been able

387
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to look at the returns and analyze it. Heck, if

388
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: you had just looked at California, New York, and Florida

389
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: and what happened there where we effectively won the House,

390
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: you would say, my goodness, there's gonna be a red

391
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: tsunami everywhere. What I read that is so important I

392
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: think for everybody to understand Democrats out the vote operation

393
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: is so much more sophisticated right now than what Republicans

394
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: have that, using Arizona as an example, they are able

395
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,959
Speaker 1: to bank millions of votes all over the country. And

396
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: it's not just banking those votes that matters. They know

397
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: who voted, so they can target on everybody who has

398
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: not voted, as opposed to having to focus on the

399
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: entire get out the vote operation. I think this is

400
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: important for everybody out there to understand. If you and

401
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: your neighbor go vote and you are Republicans and but

402
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: you wait until election day to do it, then they're

403
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: continuing to pound you and try to make sure that

404
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: you go out and vote. Once they know that your

405
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: ballot is in and you are a high propensity Republican voter,

406
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: they can go focus on somebody else down the street

407
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: who may not be likely to vote. That's what Democrats did.

408
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: They knew when they got their votes in, and they

409
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: were able to go after a shrinking circle of persuadable

410
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: voters and put all their attention on them. Hey, we

411
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: need you to fill out this ballot. We need you

412
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: to get out, whereas Republicans are still trying to address

413
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: a large majority. The other thing is buck the late surges.

414
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: When you look at Fetterman or you look at Mark Kelly,

415
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: They've already banked millions of votes before the debate even

416
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: happens in Pennsylvania. So you're continuing to go after a

417
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: smaller persuadable asset, and so many people have already voted,

418
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter if you get that late surge

419
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: like I think Republicans did as much, because sixty percent

420
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: of the vote may already be in. And this is

421
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: where I think it's so important that everyone understand who

422
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: has concerns, particularly about what happened in Arizona. The people

423
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: who are pointing out how this works are not saying

424
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: there aren't shenanigans, but we got multiple problems here and

425
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: if these things aren't fixed, it's never going to get

426
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: better in these states. And if you want to win

427
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: the president, Look, there's an argument to be made here

428
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: that what really matters because you're not with Joe Biden office,

429
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to do great an

430
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: amazing things even if you have the House in the Senate.

431
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: That's just fact. So we're in a much better position

432
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: running for the Senate next time around based on what

433
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: turf Democrats will have to defend. We already have a

434
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: majority in the House. Likely we can add to that majority,

435
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: and obviously it's all going to depend on the presidential race.

436
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: To win the presidency, you have to win these states.

437
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: How do you win these states? That's what we are

438
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: trying to focus in on like a laser. Back to

439
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: this piece in the Spectator about Arizona said, the proof

440
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 1: is everywhere that this is how it works. Do you

441
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: think it's somehow a coincidence that more than seventy of

442
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: the two hundred and twenty something tabulators in Maricopa County,

443
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: almost all of them in Republican areas, suddenly went on

444
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: the fritz on election day and those ballots were collected

445
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: and sent to a central office where they weren't counted

446
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: for days while the public watched in suspicion and horror.

447
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: You don't even need to count those ballots. All you

448
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: have to do is way the boxes and do the math.

449
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: You'll know how many other boxes need to come through

450
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: the back door to offset the vote. I mean, he's

451
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: laying out what the problems are here in the process overall,

452
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: and they needed to be fixed, and they weren't fixed.

453
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: I'll give you a great example too, Buck. Look at Florida,

454
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: we knew exactly what the vote tallies were of early

455
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: voting before we even got to election day, and we knew,

456
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: for instance, that Republicans were going to win that race

457
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: by a massive amount. I think every state needs to

458
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: be putting out these early vote tallies to help be

459
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: first of all, more reliable. I think every state needs

460
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: to follow what Florida does so they can have reliable

461
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: data on what the voters did within a few hours

462
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: after the polls closed. But we got to get way

463
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: more sophisticated. Look, you're in an arms race, effectively, and

464
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: if you are not trying to get all of your

465
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: voters out to the polls as early as possible. And

466
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: I understand because I like it, Buck, I like going

467
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: in on election day and voting. I know a huge

468
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: percentage probably of our listeners feel that same way. But Man,

469
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: we can't be a party that focuses on just election

470
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: day turnout. We got election months and if you're not

471
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: fighting the battle all month long and encouraging your voters

472
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: to get out, then at the end of at the

473
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: end of the process, you're not able to target those

474
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: low propensity voters like Democrats have been able to do.

475
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: We gotta fix it. We gotta get more sophisticated. The

476
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: numbers were there, they just weren't there in the places

477
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: where we needed them the most. And I will break

478
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: down some more of that data for you in a

479
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: little bit we come back. But in the meantime, look,

480
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Buck and I sit in next chairs every day, home offices,

481
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: home studios, being able to work in an office setting.

482
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: You know how much difference it makes to have a

483
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: comfortable chair makes you more efficient, makes you more productive,

484
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: gives you better energy at the end of the day.

485
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: How often do you stand up if you've been sitting

486
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: in a bad chair, back hurts a little bit, You

487
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: aren't able to get as much work as you otherwise could.

488
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: What if you had a heating what if you had cooling?

489
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: What if you had a chair that massages you. That's

490
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: what the X chair does. There are so many different

491
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: types of really cool options that you can put on.

00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: The best chair out there. A lot of you continuing

Speaker 1: don't really know what to get them as a gift.

521
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm not sure if he's in Milwaukee right now,

522
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: if he's been Washington, DC. Senator Ron Johnson joins us

523
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: recently reelected and Senator I want to start with this.

524
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Republicans have won the House. There was a report that

525
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: you were visiting with Congressman Jim Jordan along with several

526
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: other senators to help set up investigations into COVID, into

527
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: doctor Fauci, the origins of COVID, all of those things.

528
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like you're going to have the ability

529
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: in the Senate to necessarily set the agenda for all

530
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: of these hearings. But what will the House be able

531
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: to do? And have you been working with the House

532
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: side to help facilitate those investigations. Sure, well, obviously it'd

533
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: be better had we want the majority in the Senate

534
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: and I'd be chairman of the Firment Subcommand investigations with

535
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the gabble and subpoena power. But because of the House

536
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: won the majority, they will have subpoena power. But we

537
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: have a number of offices that have been investigating, you know,

538
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: all the scandals throughout all these agencies, and we've been

539
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: working together literally for years. So we just met to again,

540
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: I think, pledge cooperation, do everything we can. You know,

541
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: it is interesting with all these whistleblowers coming forward, and

542
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: we encourage more to do so in federal health agencies,

543
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement. But they'll come to different offices, and

544
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, we all protect their identity, so it is

545
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: important that our offices share the information. We'll have different

546
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: whatst of blowers, different pieces of information, different pieces of

547
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: the puzzle. And so the good news is, you know,

548
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: certainly Senator Grass and I our staffs have worked together

549
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: very well. You know, Sander Paul, we have very similar

550
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: interests when it comes to allow the issues surrounding COVID.

551
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: Representative Jordan, We've been working together for years. We've had

552
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: staff go back and forth pre and our offices. So

553
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: our staffs work together very well, so and Representive comer

554
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: as well. So it's just a very good meeting. The

555
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: whole purpose behind this, by the way, is to get

556
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: to the bottom of things to expose the truth because

557
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: the American people deserve the truth. So again, it's disappointing

558
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: we don't have the gabble over here on the Senate side.

559
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: But in addition to subpoenas which truth, with a Democrat

560
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Department Justice, it's going to be difficult to enforce those,

561
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: So we also have things like Foyer requests. I mean,

562
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: one of the things we've done is the four thousand

563
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: pages of Fauci emails that were foyed that were received

564
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: heavily redacted. Our staff took a look at that. We

565
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: identified four hundred pages we wanted to look at unredacted.

566
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: Now it was like pulling teeth, but we've looked I

567
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: think at three hundred and sixty of those four hundred pages.

568
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: They confirm allow the cover up. From my standpoint, but

569
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting we're down to about fifty pages. HHS will

570
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: not allow us to see that. Well, it's kind of

571
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: interesting peace information, isn't it. I'm sure that will be

572
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: some of the first documents that the House will subpoena

573
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: because the American people deserve to know what's under those redactions.

574
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: Of those final fifty pages. Senator Johnson's book appreciate you

575
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 1: being with us, and we know that. You know, fortunately

576
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: for the people of Wisconsin and for the country, you

577
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: were able to win reelection. But it was close. It

578
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: was closer than we thought it was going to be.

579
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Based on some of the poland Clay and I have

580
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time speaking to everybody, from polsters

581
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: to campaign consultants to people who are actually running in

582
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: these races about the machinery. I just wanted to hear

583
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: what you think about some of the after action criticisms

584
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: about the GOP not leveraging say early voting, and also,

585
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: are there any things in your state that are funky

586
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: the way they are and say Arizona or Nevada that

587
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: show away that the Democrats are trying to rig the

588
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: rules in their favor. Well, first of all, you and

589
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: thank you for letting me come on and thank your

590
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: audience for their support. But you know how many times

591
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: they came on and said, I just view this is

592
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: a dead even race. You did this Wisconsin. The three

593
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: races I've won, one was by one hundred thousand votes,

594
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: the second one was one hundred thousand votes in this

595
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: last one now was by twenty six thousand votes. You've

596
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: all seen the county map of the United States. It's

597
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: all read except for some bright blue dots. Right. Our

598
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: states are the same way. So we have a far

599
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: more difficult challenge bringing out low profession voters Democrats, we believe,

600
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: and we have to do an after action. We have

601
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: to really analyze the data. But it appears that Democrats

602
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job of focusing on Madison, Wisconsin and

603
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: focusing on the abortion issue and sending people out with

604
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: ten names and getting those people to turn their apps

605
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: tea ballots. Okay, so they did a good job. Our

606
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: challenges We've got to do that statewide. The third percent

607
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: of the votes in Wisconsin come from all the rural communities.

608
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: It's a much more difficult task. So the other reality

609
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: is that Democrats lie with impunity. That is the hallmark

610
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two election is Democrats didn't tell

611
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: the truth at all. They couldn't defend their records, so

612
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: they lied to their teeth and unfortunate in the media,

613
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: they're journals same where their advocates and they amplified those lives.

614
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: So we have enormous challenges. I will say, in terms

615
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: of election integrity. We had a robust election integrity component

616
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: to our election. I was actually quite surprised that Milwaukee

617
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: get there, got their vote totals in pretty early in

618
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: the evening. It was really there's really the networks that

619
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: refused to call the race, hoping that something would come

620
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: up so that they could challenge and do a recount.

621
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: But you know, that's why I all but declared victory

622
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of the wee hours of the morning, because it's obvious.

623
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: But I think our robust election integrity component really did

624
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: discipline the process. We had five thousand poll workers versus

625
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred and fifty the previous election. We had every

626
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: shift filled with the election observers. They were allowed to observe.

627
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: Now we had to go to court in a couple

628
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: of cases, but the things we did on the front end,

629
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: I think everybody in Wisconsin. I don't think anybody's question

630
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: of the results. Let's face, we had by parsian results.

631
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 1: I won our good ne toorial candidate, other statewide candidate's loss,

632
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: so there's really nothing to complain about. But again, we

633
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: really didn't see anything significant on the ground or an

634
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: election nights because we deterred it by having observation and

635
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: we had co workers Senator Johnson this morning and we're

636
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna play some of this audio later in the show.

637
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: The House announced that they're going to be conducting a

638
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: real investigation into Joe Biden. Hunter Biden potentially elicit relationships

639
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: from a financial perspective with foreign adversaries. What can the

640
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: Senate do to help that investigation? How important is it,

641
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: I know you found yourself in the middle of this

642
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 1: based on FBI helping to cover up for Hunter Biden

643
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden's connection to them. How important is having

644
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: the gavel in the House to conduct that investigation. What

645
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: do you anticipate they're going to be able to uncover? Well, again,

646
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: hopefully the truth is. But how we can all work

647
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: together other is once again, we have different whistleblowers coming

648
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: to our offices. If we different whistleblowers have confidence in

649
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: one committee ranking member versus the other, so we'll have

650
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: different piece of the puzzle, but we can all support

651
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: each other's efforts. Um. You know, we've certainly have information

652
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: from our whistle blower on the Hunter Biden h and

653
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: I brought this up with the Director Rate today at

654
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: the hearing that we have whistleblowers said they were not

655
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: going to look at the Hunter Biden laptop, that they

656
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: weren't going to change the outcome of the election. Again, uh,

657
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: both of some pre revealing a piece of information. Check

658
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: Rasley has, you know, whistle blowers saying that, um that

659
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, the the FPI had a scheme in August

660
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty to basically downplay the directory information. So again,

661
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: as corrupt as the Biden family is, as important as

662
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: maybe more important, is the corruption within federal law enforcement.

663
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: And then of course you have the erupting complicit media.

664
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: All these things need to be exposed. We've got you

665
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 1: know what I think is a great lawsuit with the

666
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 1: Missourian Louisiana. We have Thattor in general now is a

667
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: US sender elect Eric Schmidt, you know, uncovering the cooperation

668
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: i'd say, the collusion between the buy administration and social

669
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: the big tech social media giants. So there's so much

670
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: to look at, there's so much corruption, there's so much

671
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: be exposed. It's going to take a lot of bodies

672
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: to do it. And so that's what we all have

673
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: is we've got different investigators, We've got different people coming

674
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: to us, we have different pieces of information, and we're

675
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: going to cooperate as best we can, as much as

676
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: we can. Senator Johnson, you've got a fifty to forty

677
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: nine deficit right now. There's a runoff that's going on

678
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: in Georgia. It was a fifty fifty Senate two years ago,

679
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: could be a fifty fifty Senate again. What is the

680
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: difference from your perspective on fifty fifty centate versus fifty

681
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: one forty nine For people out there listening Georgia or

682
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: who may be thinking about donating money potentially to herschel

683
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: Walker against the Reverend Raphael Warnock. From your perspective, what

684
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: difference does that make. It's a huge difference. Fifty fifty

685
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: Senate gives us equal representation on the committee. So it's

686
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: in the really in case of a really horrible UH nominee,

687
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: we have a better chance of blocking it. You know,

688
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: even though we control of the House, we would not

689
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: put it past the Democrats in the Senate, even though

690
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: it would make no sensing. They couldn't utilize blowing up

691
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: the Senate, getting rid of the filibuster to really pass

692
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: legislation with the House, but they just may do it anyway,

693
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: just to get it done. And if it's fifty one

694
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: forty nine, all they need is you know, we would

695
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: need both Cinema and Joe Mansion just to sam firm.

696
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 1: But they still maybe seat that as well. So it's

697
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's just too fine line and fifty fifty

698
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: is just so much better than fIF on forty nine.

699
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a big deal. Well,

700
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,360
Speaker 1: we're very happy to see that both Kemp and Trump

701
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: have said they will be helping Herschel get across the

702
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: finish line. There so some some unity on the GOP

703
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: side in Georgia that could have a really big impact.

704
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: As you laid out before I let you go, Senator Johnson,

705
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 1: I've just got to ask you. I've got some data

706
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: in front of me here. We're a week out from Thanksgiving,

707
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: and there's always these fun charts of which states have

708
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: what the most popular Thanksgiving side is in every state

709
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: of the Union. What is your favorite Thanksgiving side? Man?

710
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: That's hard to say, but it's got to be the dressing,

711
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: because it's kind of specially you do it, but you

712
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: need all things with it. I mean, dressing just by

713
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: itself isn't good. But I mean, you need the turkey,

714
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: the gravy, the dressing, the mass potatoes and the corn

715
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: and the sweet tatoes. I need it all. I have

716
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: it all of the above. Play all right. Last question

717
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: for you, and it's a big one. I am a

718
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: to see Titan fan your green Bay Packers, Senator. Thursday

719
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: night football. My team is traveling up to Lambeau. You

720
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: guys got a nice win over the Cowboys. Are the

721
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: Packers back? Does Aaron Rodgers and crew get it done tonight?

722
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: Well that looked pretty good, you know, last Sunday, So

723
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: you know we've done it before. I mean, we won

724
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl after six losses or with six losses,

725
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: so it's entirely possible. And you've seen our receivering corps. No,

726
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: I'll step up the plate. It's entirely possible. But like you,

727
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: absolute guarantee is that the folks and Green Bay would

728
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: be very nice to anybody coming up from Tennessee. We're

729
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: just very nice people. It's a phenomenal place to watch

730
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 1: a game. I'm looking forward to watching it tonight, Senator.

731
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: So glad we got you for six more years. We

732
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: appreciate you spending time with us. Take care. Thanks Senator

733
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: Johnson There, Clay, you know, you know what the number

734
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: one favorite side in Wisconsin is for Thanksgiving? Baked potato interesting,

735
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: which I was kind of like a little thrown by that.

736
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: The northeast, so Pennsylvania, New York, New England dominated by

737
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: love of Thanksgiving stuffing and sweet potato with marshmallow. Do

738
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: you know what in your home state of Tennessee the

739
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: number one Thanksgiving side according to Thrillist. I don't know

740
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: if that's like accurate, but stuffing hash brown casserole, Oh

741
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: that is? I mean, first of all, I'm all about it,

742
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: all right. Most people don't even have a hash brown casserole.

743
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that is. I gotta come

744
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: back to Tennessee the Travis household to eat some hash

745
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: brown cassero. I'm gonna call out Thrillist on this. You know,

746
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: we have a lot of pecan pie, We've got a

747
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: lot of the marshmallow with the sweet potatoes that combo um,

748
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, greens on the side, all

749
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: that stuff. But a hash brown casserole is not the

750
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 1: peak of the Tennessee Thanksgiving staple. Interesting. Texas it's creamed corn, Florida,

751
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: it is rolls. Rolls are big in the South. Yeah,

752
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what we do bread well down here. So

753
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: it's an interesting breakdown. You do get some regional some

754
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: regional stuff. But the funniest of all to me is

755
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: Washington State. We love our Washington State listeners. But number

756
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: one up there roasted vegetables. Well, what kind of what

757
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: kind of Marxist nonsense is that I'm a big fan of.

758
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: That's probably going to throw you into spasms of outrage.

759
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: Canned cranberries. I love that. I love the gra jellied

760
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: and I also like the regular credit. The only time

761
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: you eat cranberry, really, I feel like is Thanksgiving a

762
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit of Christmas. I'm all about it. I love it.

763
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: And also I don't know what. I don't know what

764
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: Virginia's thinking here, but apparently in Virginia the number one

765
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving side is macaroni and cheese. Macaroni and cheese is

766
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: a once a week dinner food. It is not a

767
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving food. Like a lot of times for meals when

768
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: we're out at restaurants, will order mac and cheese with

769
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: a side of mac and cheese. That's how much he's

770
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: committed to the mac and cheese lifestyle. That's what we

771
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,879
Speaker 1: call a boss move. My friends business owners, they're taking

792
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: and Show rolling through the Thursday edition of the program.

793
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We were

794
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: talking earlier about what the impact may be from the

795
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: House flipping officially to Republican control of Kevin McCarthy, now

796
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: the Speaker. There's a press conference this morning discussing Joe Biden,

797
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: his connections to Hunter Biden, and the nefarious activities that

798
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: could be involved from both of those connections. And I

799
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: wanted to play a couple of clips here from this

800
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: is Representative James Coomer talking about an investigation of Joe Biden,

801
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: not Hunter Biden, and let's listen first to cut one.

802
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: This is an investigation of Joe Biden, the President of

803
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: the United States, and why he lied to the American

804
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: people about his knowledge and participation in his family's international

805
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: business schemes. National security interests require the Committee conduct investigation,

806
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: and we will pursue all avenues, avenues that have long

807
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 1: been ignored. Committee Republicans have uncovered evidence of federal crimes

808
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: committed by and to the benefit of members of the

809
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: president's family. These include conspiracy or defrauding the United States

810
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, violation of the

811
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: Foreign Agents Registration Act, violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,

812
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, tax evasion, money laundring,

813
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: and conspiracy to commit money laundry all significant bucket. I

814
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: think it's important to note I want to play cut

815
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: two as well. This is not just about Hunter Biden's

816
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 1: salacious activities, the drug use, to prostitution, all of the

817
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,240
Speaker 1: things that he documented that he did which are against

818
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: the law. But this is about ten percent for the

819
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: big guy. This is about Joe Biden running a criminal

820
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 1: enterprise through his son. Hunter. Listened to James Comer, representative

821
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: from Kentucky. Continue with this press conference. Hunter Biden isn't

822
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: this innocent guy that just got a bad rap because

823
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: he had a drug problem. And the Republicans don't need

824
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: to waste time on everybody. We don't. We're not trying

825
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 1: to prove Hunter Biden is a bad actor. He is.

826
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to disagree with that, then there's nothing

827
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: we have to talk about. Our investigation is about Joe Biden,

828
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: and we already have evidence that would point that Joe

829
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: Biden was involved with Hunter Biden, and he says, so

830
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: we want the bank records, and that's our focus. We're

831
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: trying to stay focused on. Was Joe Biden directly involved

832
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 1: with Hunter Biden's business deals and is he compromised? That's

833
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 1: our investigation. I just say this man, you know, as

834
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: much as I feel like, you're not gonna get obviously

835
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in any kind of legal trouble while he's

836
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: the president and controls the DJ because Democrats take care

837
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: of their own, I mean, within this system, they didn't

838
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: have to work for Joe. As a pointees, the deep

839
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: state will protect him, but we've also got to do

840
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: what we can to we say, fight fire with fire

841
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to elections, Clay, it's got to be

842
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: the same thing with control of the House. Eventually, the

843
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: Senate got to keep them on their back foot as well,

844
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: because that's what they're doing to us all the tongue,

845
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: and I think I think that's important make them make

846
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 1: the case that Hunter Biden's not super corrupt or Joe

847
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 1: Biden isn't super corrupt, because it is one of them.

848
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: Many items that's become so much more expensive this past

849
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: year is ammunition. If you're a gun owner, I mean

850
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm going shooting in a few days, I can tell

851
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: you the price of AMMO is sky high, which makes

852
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: it all the more expensive to train and keep your

853
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: skills sharp. There's a newer way to train, though, and

854
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: keep those skills top notch. You can train without ammunition

855
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: at your home musing something called a Mantis X system.

856
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: The best shooters do the majority of their training by

857
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: doing dry fire practice at home. That's what Mantis X is.

858
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: A firearms training system that is a no AMMO, all

859

Speaker 1: electronic way to improve your shooting accuracy. Simply attaches to

860
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: your firearm like a weapon light. You can use it

861
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,959
Speaker 1: at home or the range for training instead of using

862
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: expensive MMO. The Mantis X gives you data driven, real

863
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: time feedback on your technique and guide you through drills

865
